WHY?

I've been stewing on this after talking to "Mr. Dark Side"(maybe he'll throw Innova again someday!lol!!) a while back. It was in regards to the Gator and how the Star version sucked. Since I was lucky enough to find some Champ Gators and that's all I've ever thrown. I thought, aside from the common diff. between Star and Champ. It should at least be the same disc/mold. So I checked some Star Gators I had stashed away to the Champ one's. Wow! What happen to the bead on the Star mold? (there is hardly a bead at all). I must say. The Star Gator is NOTHING like the Champ Gator after playing with them for several rounds!
Soo, my question is. Why do they change molds with diff. plastics? Why mess with a good thing, or Why does this happen? Is it because of the plastic and it's "molding" procedure?
Anybody have an idea WHY?

Thanks and Peace!

I do! I carry a Champ Gator for close in shots and a Z Drone for longer shots. After all...Is there really a Dark Side in disc golf lol!!

Yea but noramly they are still the same disc the gators arent even the same mold

The strangest dichotomy I have seen yet is between my Star Bosses and my R-Pro Bosses. The former are quite over-stable for me while the latter are very, very straight and almost under-stable. Not complaining though, as that makes the Star Boss a good forehand driver for me and the R-Pro my longest backhand driver now. (Waiting to see what the "Nuke" is like!)

I can beat your complaint Rescue. I bought, at a considerable price, two CFR Star XDs. They are NOTHING close to an XD and I swear on my grave (although I'm leaning toward cremation) that they come from the Classic Roc mold! I have both Champion and Star Gators and the difference is nothing compared to the XD difference.

I'll take those lousy XDs off your hands. ;)
